I Love TheHIVE
One year ago today my dear Mum was diagnosed with throat cancer - it goes without saying that this was a tremendously difficult time for all of us a family not to mention a time of fear of the unknown.
It is now one year later and my Mum is celebrating her Cancer Free birthday! As a family this has forever changed us, it brought us all closer, closer than we ever have been before; moments are cherished memories and time spent with one another is an amazing treasure. It is amazing to me how quickly time has gone by and while the memories of that very difficult time will never leave us there is a comfort in the knowledge that we have many days together. Forever this has changed me and forever I will be grateful for each and every day I have.
Happy C-F Birthday to your Mom! That is wonderful and it sure does make you appreciate each and every day. What a beautiful photo of both of you ~ enjoy the day! :)

So happy for you and your family. My mother and I walked a similar journey 5 years ago and it changed the way we see everything. By the way...wonderful photo! Did time stand still? Neither one of you looks any older than the first time we met!

I remember vividly reading the news of your Mother, is that one year ago, hard to believe.
Congratulations, certainly a time of celebration but as you say, those awful memories will never leave you.
A beautiful photograph and I can tell that you are precious to each other.
Wishes
Lynne
